Best vintage of the 20th century? 1945. Few will argue against that. A one-off historical nexus of victory against evil with victory in the vineyard. In reality, many Bordeaux estates were close to ruinous conditions following the Depression of the 1930s followed by six years of war and occupation by the German army. Consequently, there are astonishing successes and unavoidable failures simply through circumstance. You never quite know what to expect when venturing beyond the First Growths.
